If the filing person has previously filed a statement on Schedule 13G to report the acquisition which is the subject of this Schedule 13D, and is filing this schedule because of Rule 13d-1(e), 13d-1(f) or 13d-1(g) check the following box  x.

The information required in the remainder of this cover page shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section of the Act but shall be subject to all other provisions of the Act.

SCHEDULE 13D/A

This Amendment No. 5 (this “Amendment”) to the Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) is being filed on behalf of Prescott Group Capital Management, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company (“Prescott Capital”), Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap, L.P., an Oklahoma limited partnership (“Prescott Small Cap”), Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap II, L.P., an Oklahoma limited partnership (“Prescott Small Cap II” and, together with Prescott Small Cap, the “Small Cap Funds”), and Mr. Phil Frohlich, the principal of Prescott Capital, relating to shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value (the “Common Stock”), of 4Licensing Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).

This Amendment relates to Common Stock purchased by the Small Cap Funds through the account of Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap Master Fund, G.P., an Oklahoma general partnership (“Prescott Master Fund”), of which the Small Cap Funds are the general partners. Prescott Capital serves as the general partner of the Small Cap Funds and may direct the Small Cap Funds, the general partners of Prescott Master Fund, to direct the vote and disposition of the 6,046,084 shares of Common Stock held by the Prescott Master Fund. As the principal of Prescott Capital, Mr. Frohlich may direct the vote and disposition of the 6,046,084 shares of Common Stock held by Prescott Master Fund.

The shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons (as defined below) reported on this Amendment were previously reported on a Schedule 13G/A filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on February 12, 2010. This Amendment amends and restates in its entirety the Schedule 13D as set forth below.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following:

On February 24, 2016, the Reporting Persons were notified that the Issuer’s sole remaining Board member and employee was resigning as he was four months in arears in receiving salaried compensation and the Issuer was unable to raise new capital as a result of its already levered balance sheet. Faced with the appointment of a court receiver for the Issuer, the Reporting Persons determined that, while they were unwilling to expend the time required for involvement in the Issuer at the Board or officer level, finding a replacement Board member was preferable to receivership. The Reporting Persons facilitated the hiring of a former employee with affiliation to the Issuer but no prior affiliation with the Reporting Persons to serve as a Board member and the sole employee of the Issuer. The Reporting Persons are temporarily funding some expenditures of the Issuer in order to gain time to assess the current situation, but are receiving no securities of the Issuer for such funding. The Reporting Persons have no current intent to join the Board of Issuer or invest substantial new capital in the Issuer given its current financial situation. In an effort to reduce current expenditures of the Issuer, the Reporting Persons are in agreement with the contemplated action of the Issuer to file Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to suspend the issuer’s duty to file reports under sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and to deregister the Common Stock under the Exchange Act.

Although the Reporting Persons have no specific plan or proposal to acquire or dispose of the shares of Common Stock, consistent with their investment purpose, the Reporting Persons at any time and from time to time may acquire additional shares of Common Stock or dispose of any or all of their shares of Common Stock depending upon an ongoing evaluation of the investment in the Common Stock, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Persons and/or other investment considerations.

Except to the extent the foregoing may be deemed a plan or proposal, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of the Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.
